TP-Link TL-SG105E 5-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch
The TP-Link TL-SG105E is a 5-port managed switch designed for small and medium businesses that need to expand their wired network without complexity. It combines basic traffic management and monitoring with automatic energy-saving, making it a straightforward upgrade from unmanaged switches.
Why this product
5 gigabit ports, no bottlenecks
All five ports run at 1,000 Mbps with a 10 Gbps switching capacity and 7.4 Mpps forwarding rate. Large files transfer without slowdown or interference between ports.
Built-in traffic control
Port mirroring, loop prevention, cable diagnostics and QoS prioritization let you monitor what's happening on your network and keep latency-sensitive traffic—voice, video, IPTV—running smoothly.
Up to 75% less power draw
It automatically adjusts power consumption based on cable length and link status, cutting energy use without sacrificing performance.
No moving parts, fanless design
The switch runs silent with no fan and is enclosed in metal casing, making it reliable enough for always-on deployment in offices or network closets.
Simple management interface
Web-based configuration and management utility keep setup and administration straightforward for small teams without dedicated IT.
- Ports5 × Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1,000 Mbps)
- Switching capacity10 Gbps
- Forwarding rate7.4 Mpps
- Form factorDesktop or wall-mount, fanless
- ManagementWeb interface, CLI utility
- Power supply100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
- SKUTPL-1121
- EAN6935364022044
- Works with any device using standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports—servers, PCs, printers, NAS, IP cameras, and other networked equipment.
- Mounts on a desktop or wall, so it fits in tight spaces or server racks where floor space is limited.
- Requires AC power only (100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz); there is no option for PoE power supply from a connected device.
- Does not support PoE output—it cannot power devices like wireless access points or IP cameras from the switch itself.
Best for
- Small offices and remote sites needing straightforward network expansion without complex configuration.
- Environments where QoS and VLAN segmentation keep voice and video steady, but you don't need enterprise-class management.
- Locations where silence and reliability matter—fanless operation means no noise and no moving parts to fail.
- Budget-conscious deployments where energy savings offset the cost over time.
Trade-offs
- Devices needing PoE power. The switch has no PoE output, so wireless access points, IP cameras and other PoE-powered gear must draw power separately.
- Networks with more than 5 wired connections. This is a 5-port switch; larger networks need a bigger model or additional switches.
- Mission-critical setups requiring redundancy. There is no ring topology, dual power supply or failover option—one failure takes the switch offline.
- High-speed backhaul or dense media workflows. At 10 Gbps total capacity, it is suitable for normal office traffic, not for studios or data centres handling terabyte-scale transfers.
The 5-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Desktop Switch provides an easy way to expand your wired network. Deal with your business quickly and easily, whether you are at home or in the office.
TL-SG105E offers network monitoring for users to observe traffic behavior. Through its web-based user interface and management utility, the TL-SG105E offers a variety of useful features, including network monitoring, traffic prioritization, and enhanced QoS.
The interior components of TL-SG105E are protected by high-quality metal casing to ensure a long product life. Having passed an array of stringent reliability tests, TL-SG105E delivers switching performance you can depend on. Compact Desktop Design. Wall-Mounting. Fanless Design.
TP-Link's latest generation of Easy Smart Switches make use of innovative energy-saving technologies. Power consumption automatically adjusts according to link status and cable length, allowing you to expand your network while minimizing your carbon footprint. Save the planet and lower your energy bills — it's a win-win!
The TL-SG105E 5-Port Gigabit Easy Smart switch is an ideal upgrade from an unmanaged switch, designed for small and medium business networks that require simple network management. The configuration is largely simplified by the web-based user interface and management utility. Network administrators can effectively monitor traffic via Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention and Cable Diagnostics features. To optimize traffic on your business network, TL-SG105E offers Port-based/802.1p/DSCP QoS to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving smoothly and jitter-free. Additionally, port-based, tag-based and MTU VLAN can improve security and meet more network segmentation requirements. Moreover, with its innovative energy-efficient technology, the TL-SG105E can save up to 75% of power consumption, making it an eco-friendly solution for your business network.
